He knew that the captain was 30 drunk
that he didn't hardly know what he was
about, and was probably afraid the captain
would do something foolish. II the cap
tain had been sober, L don't believe the
vessel would have been lost, for any sober
man would have turned back when he saw
how badly she acted in the big sea-"
The ordinary second mate of q passenger
steamer would hardly dare to use such
language to the master as that Stone as
cEibes to Capt. Higgins, but the latter was
not an ordinary second mate. Up to q
short time ago he was in command OF the
steamer Leland. and lost his position when
the steamer changed ownership. 1t is diff
icrlt to obtain q command in the middle
of the season. and rather than remain idle
he accepted the first birth that was offered
him. In every sense he was a careful and
skilful navigator. and IL he had been in
command of the Vernon that fatal night
she might new be aisoat. The same can
be said OF Capt. Sullivan, the first mate,
who had for many years commanded some
OF the finest sailing vessels on the lakes.
The laat time the Vernon was in Chicago,
Capt. Sullivan, speaking of the sea-Worthi-
ness of the steamer. remarked that she as
all right If properly loaded, but added
that she was being loaded deeper than she
ought to be.

Railway construction train conveying men
and material to point five miles below
Walnut Hill, where the track is being laid
on lis extension TO Drivers Station. The
